In the Black Mountain Pass, 400 soldiers, wielding sapper shovels together, at the mouth of the valley, arranged three layers of trenches, all of which are about 1.5 meters deep, enough to stand for one person, not that Wang Jinming is unwilling to dig deep, the opponent is just horse bandits, and they do not carry heavy weapons, machine guns and cannons, they are well-trained soldiers, 1.5 meters deep, enough for everyone to get excellent hiding.

The opponent is a horse bandit, and dig some horse traps to prevent the horse bandits' horse team from rushing quickly, the horse trap for the sapper shovel, a shovel down, is a small pit of thirty or forty centimeters, can dig thousands at will, on the hills on both sides, and two lines of defense are arranged, a total of about 250 people are arranged.

In the General Staff, this battle plan has been deduced more than ten times, with the help of pervasive investigations, basically, the basic situation of the red turban thieves has been clarified, plus the captured grooms and caravan men, a total of more than 600 people, including the number of bandits, 512 people, guns plus captured guns, there are 85 guns, whether it can be fired is not known. The remaining hundreds, as well as arquebuses and bows and arrows, would cause great damage to unprotected hamlets, or even earthen villages, but to the well-trained soldiers, they were just a joke.

The strength of the red turban thief is extremely strong, it is a bandit across the entire Northeast, among them, almost everyone has a life in his hands, extremely fierce, which is also the reason why Wang Jinming has paid attention repeatedly, the 400 people he brought over, he hopes to take away 400 people, and he is not even willing to do it, let alone a dead person.

170 cars, front and rear intersecting, almost a mile away, the whole valley is about 3 kilometers, after they enter, rush up from behind, push these horse bandits to their preset battlefield, detour back to position, is a very critical thing, once the pockets are not tight, let them run away, really a little sorry for so many people and guns.

Almost a whole morning, the defense line was basically arranged, in the cave specially arranged on one side, where everyone rested, this is not a business road, the place is remote, and there is no fear that someone will come and leak the news, and the guards in all directions will control the people who break into the battlefield at the first time.

Not to mention, in such a remote place, someone really came, and caught four or five people in one day, these people were temporarily settled in a small mountain village not far away, guarded by Feng Yuxiang's soldiers, and they couldn't be let go casually, although according to monitoring, these are not horse bandits, or rather, they are not red turban thieves, but the most important thing in ambush warfare is concealment, and any possibility of leaking intelligence must be contained, at most, after this battle, the apology should be apologized, and the compensation should be compensated.

Whether the other party accepts it or not, then let's talk about it, with Wang Jinming's understanding of the people of this era, in the face of the arrogant soldiers, there are a few people who are willing to argue with them, it's okay, this problem is not difficult to solve at all.

On the side of the Black Mountain Pass, it is being arranged nervously, and dozens of kilometers away, a winding procession is slowly moving forward, dozens of people are riding on horses, wearing disorganized clothes, and it looks even a little tattered, but most of the bandits have a red turban on their heads, which looks a little neat, and the continuous march makes them all relatively tired, and there are only a dozen low-level horse bandits, guarding on all sides, shouting from time to time, letting the carriage move quickly.

One-eyed Hu is a little excited, 3,000 quintals of cotton, this is a scarce material, the entire Red Turban Army may not be able to loot so much in a year, tens of thousands of taels, although when selling stolen goods, it can't sell so much, but even if it is one-half, it is a huge amount of money, with this money, their Red Turban Army can immediately expand several times, even if it is a gun of 100 yuan, it is enough for a few hundred, in the eyes of One-eyed Hu, the gun represents the power, representing more teams in the future.

Baotou's Jin merchants, one-eyed Hu has heard of it, this time to Baotou to start, but also happened to bump into, met a defenseless fat sheep, after robbing, only to find out that it is the Jin Shang four big things, Bao Ken company he has never heard of, Jin Shang everyone, is rich and powerful, know in advance, maybe the red scarf thief will not rob, rob all the robberies, and care about anything else, the one-eyed Hu has never been a person who is afraid of things, Jin Shang may have a certain influence in the northwest, and how can it affect the northeast, from the very beginning of the rapid and concealed march, When he arrived in the depths of the Mongolian steppe, he didn't pay so much attention to it, and he didn't see anyone chasing after him all the way, and in his eyes, Jin Shang was just like that.

"The people have arrived, just 20 miles ahead, and it is estimated that within an hour, they will enter the valley!" Wang Jinming's hand is a military telescope specially made zuò, 15 times the magnification, four or five kilometers away, you can see more clearly, fortunately here is the Great Plains, at a glance, unobstructed, 170 carriage convoy, even if it is 10 kilometers away, is very eye-catching, just like a winding dragon, gradually towards the Black Mountain Pass.

The 400 people have been arranged separately, under the special bunkers and camouflage materials, it is extremely difficult to find with the naked eye, and it is difficult to see the telescopes with low magnification, horse bandits, they are mobile bandits, and military materials such as telescopes cannot be had, but Wang Jinming still takes into account what he should think about and what he shouldn't think, which is thanks to the role of Feng Yuxiang's staff group.

"Let them start moving!" Wang Jinming lightly gave an order, a team of about 150 people, in several directions, bypassing from the side of the mountain, in the direction of the back of the valley, there are two natural grooves, enough to accommodate so many heavily armed soldiers, they need to choose to deploy in the back after the convoy enters the valley, to prevent the horse bandits from escaping, since these horse bandits dare to come to rob Baotou's things, they always have to pay the price.

The time is tight, the task is heavy, and the personnel are not very enough, but fortunately, the valley is long enough, about 6 kilometers of the valley, enough for a 1-mile-long carriage, after entering, it can also move forward for two or three hours, with the current vigilance of the horse bandits, and so on, the defense line on this side has been arranged, this side, plus both sides, and sudden attacks, for the killing of horse bandits, they can definitely take them.

150 people, divided into 8 different groups, began to walk towards the fixed location, they are all strictly trained soldiers, five kilometers of cross-country only, even if they are not riding horses, not riding in a car, their speed is also very fast, and at this moment, 10 kilometers away, those horse bandits, without the slightest feeling, lazily walked forward, not knowing that there is a hideous monster here, has been completely staring at them.

The enemy is getting closer and closer, the most critical place in the ambush war is to hide, even if you believe in your subordinates, you can't help but worry about it, Wang Jinming tries to calm down as much as possible, every time there is a big event, you need to calm down, as a commander, this is organically important, it is something that has been summed up from years of experience, the horse bandits are about to enter the valley, as long as they are not in another section of the valley, finding them is equivalent to half the success, to the position of the battlefield, they definitely have no time to react, These were calculated several times by the staff officers.

The carriage approached slowly, and the horse bandits in the other section did not expect that in this place that was about to approach the lair, there would be 400 elite warriors waiting for them, and most of them were a little lazy because of the fatigue of continuous travel and the cold wind of winter.

The traffic flow of up to a mile has converged into the valley, the movements of the horse bandits are a little eager, the wilderness in the northeast, in this weather, even if it is sunny, it is cold and cold, and it is better to have a shelter from the wind, of course, it is better, 10 minutes later, when the last carriage entered the valley, Wang Jinming's heart that had been hanging was also put down,

As long as the convoy of horse bandits enters this valley, it will be more than half successful, and the cart will definitely be able to stay, and the cart will not be able to use heavy firearms on the convoy, and the bullets of the rifles will not cause great damage to the cotton.

The horse bandits of the Red Turban Army are more cautious in their movements, and in such a remote valley, there are also three or five horsemen who enter the valley first, and after careful inspection, they will wait until there is no danger, and then let the large group of men and horses in.

Wang Jinming hid in the bushes, with a slight sneer on his face, these 400 soldiers have been carefully trained, and latent is also an important item of training, the camouflage of the whole body, plus some white cloth, how could it be discovered by these horse bandits in the northeast winter.

The convoy slowly entered the Black Mountain Pass, in the distance, in a specific position, the prism reflected some signals, he waved his hand at the sentry behind him, and the sentry immediately gave back the order, and the behind, after the horse team entered the valley for about a mile, it was ready to act.

Time passed minute by minute, the horse bandits were unaware, when all the horse bandits entered the valley for a mile, on the back side of the mountain, the 150 people began to move, they first stuck outside the valley, a few more favorable locations, first get the Makqin up, this huge thing, infinite power, movement but unchanged, otherwise, at least 6 will be brought.

After careful calculation by the staff officers, the position of the two stands was determined, which could protect the entire valley, and the others began to dig individual pits in the dead end of the valley line of sight after the others were put down, at most half an hour, at least 40 pits would be in place, 40 soldiers, plus 2 Makqin, from this above, the protection can be said to be impregnable, unless there is the same Makqin and ten times the number of personnel, and the group attack is launched, it is possible to break through this reassurance, It can be said that from this moment on, the fate of the horse bandits has already been decided.
